Shy, dyslexic, and small for his age, he tries to hide his first-grade reading level from everyone: from his classmates, from the grandfather who cares for him, and from the teachers who are supposed to help him. But the real trouble begins when Patrick is accused of attacking a school aide. The aide promptly quits and sues the boy, his family, and the school district. Patrick's grandfather turns to the law firm of Rosato \u0026amp; DiNunzio for help, and Mary DiNunzio becomes Patrick's true champion and his only hope for security and justice. But there is more to the story than meets the eye and Patrick might be more troubled than he seems. With twists at every turn and secrets about the family coming to light, Mary DiNunzio might have found the case that can make her a true protector, or break her heart.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Outstanding…Tensions mount until the story concludes with a satisfying, unexpected twist.” \u003ci\u003e–Publishers Weekly (starred review) \u003c\/i\u003eon \u003ci\u003eDamaged\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for the Rosato \u0026amp; DiNunzio Series\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “Scottoline’s merging of the themes of her family-driven stand-alone thrillers with her ongoing legal series continues to work splendidly.” –\u003ci\u003eBooklist \u003c\/i\u003eon \u003ci\u003eDamaged\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “Scottoline is an A-lister all the way, and her Rosato series is always an A-plus.” –\u003ci\u003eBooklist \u003c\/i\u003e(starred review)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Scottoline’s third entry in her Rosato \u0026amp; DiNunzio series does not disappoint.
